Hydraulic Combined Anchor Windlass

Hydraulic Combined Anchor Windlass

Application

 A hydraulic combined anchor windlass is a type of equipment used on ships to lift, lower, and store the anchor. It uses hydraulic power to operate and is capable of handling heavy loads. The term "combined" refers to the windlass having both a gypsy and a warping drum. The gypsy is a rotating drum that is grooved to accommodate the anchor chain. The chain is pulled through the gypsy, and the weight of the anchor is lifted or lowered as the chain is paid out or retrieved. The warping drum, on the other hand, is used to haul in ropes or wires that are used to moor the ship.Standard features include fabricated steel construction,gears hardend to exceed working load requirements, cluthed and braked drum and corrosion resistance.

	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.
Pedestal	Q235-B	Suitable for products with small loads.
	Q345-B	High strength and good welding performance.

Due to the fierce market competition, the phenomenon of low quality of other winch suppliers is frequent. What is the difference between us and other low-quality suppliers?

The specific differences are as follows:

Part name	Other low quality suppliers	Result	Our factory	Consequence
Gypsy Wheel	Cast iron	Cast iron has good casting performance, but when the carbon content of cast iron is relatively high, its performance is relatively brittle, and its tensile performance is relatively poor; it is easy to corrode and wear quickly, which is not conducive to load.	Q345D	The Q345D steel plate is preheated before welding to prevent the occurrence of cold cracks. And Q345D has good cold and hot working properties and corrosion resistance, and has good low temperature toughness. Conducive to load, slow wear.
Drum	To reduce costs, reduce the thickness of the drum.	The thickness of the drum is too thin, which is not conducive to the load and wears quickly.	Produced in strict accordance with product production standards, with moderate thickness.	The thickness is moderate, which is good for loading, wears slowly, and does not cause the product to be too heavy to increase the transportation cost.
Warping head	ZG270-500	Casting defects cannot be avoided	Q345-B	High welding strength and slow wear.
Hydraulic Motor Type	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.	DONGFANG or XINGHONG brand	Cost-effective, good quality. With brake, high safety.
Pedestal	Q235-B	Low strength, suitable for products with small overload; Used for heavy loads winches, wear out quickly and break easily.	Q345-B	Higher strength, slower wear, not easy to break, suitable for both small and large load winches.

Maintenance advice:

★ The mechanical part of the machine should work under good lubrication conditions. The machine should be idling for a moment after each refueling to allow the grease to evenly coat the running surface.

★ Refueling parts are butter nozzle, transmission rod, gear, brake lever, etc.

★ The machine body and fixing bolts should be checked frequently for completeness and tightness. The brakes of the machine should be checked regularly to prevent grease from adhering to the braking surface. When the brake belt rivets rub against the brake hub, the brake belt should be replaced in time.

★ What is the condition of the limit bolts (adjustment bolts) of the windlass brake belt? Is it rusted? Special attention should be paid to the screw teeth under the brake lever, that is, after the brake is tightened, check the remaining screw teeth under the brake lever. According to previous experience, there are at least 10 teeth to be assured. The limit bolt is between the brake lever and the brake band, which can be used to adjust the height of the brake lever. The thread of the limit screw is fine. Open the brake lever and slowly adjust the limit bolt until the thread under the brake screw meets the requirements. This bolt should be properly buttered, wrapped in tarpaulin, and checked at least every three months.
